[osflash] Invoking Flex compilers from Java?

[Samuel Agesilas]

Hi David,

You should be able to link against the mxmlc jar directly and invoke  
it's main class...

flex2.tools.Compiler

Now make sure you have the following classes...

xercesPatch.jar
asc.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar
afe.jar
aglj32.jar
rideau.jar
batik-awt-util.jar
batik-bridge.jar
batik-css.jar
batik-dom.jar
batik-ext.jar
batik-gvt.jar
batik-parser.jar
batik-script.jar
batik-svg-dom.jar
batik-svggen.jar
batik-util.jar
batik-transcoder.jar
batik-xml.jar mm-velocity-1.4.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-discovery.jar
commons-logging.jar
license.jar
swfkit.jar
flex-messaging-common.jar
mxmlc_ja.jar

They're available in the $FLEX_BUILDER_3/sdks/3.0.0/lib/ folder of  
your flex installation.

Cheers,
Sam
